Nantucket Weddings Unveiled

Looking for a fresh new color to infuse into your wedding? Pantone recently announced THE color for 2011, Honeysuckle!

A flattering hue for wedding attendant apparel and accessories, Honeysuckle is now one of the nearly 200 PANTONE WEDDING Colors available from Dessy, a leading manufacturer of bridesmaid, social-occasion and flower-girl dresses. PANTONE WEDDING exclusively from Dessy provides a collection of color tools to make it easy for brides to achieve perfectly color-coordinated weddings – from inspiration to “I do.” See www.dessy.com for more information.

This warm, elegant and classic inspiration board from Snippet & Ink sums up what we love about the holidays. All the best to you this holiday season!

We are back today with another amazing creation from Griffin-vites.  A bride having a Sconset wedding this past September asked Sarah to incorporate hydrangeas in to her escort table signage.  Didn’t this come out beautifully!  A different way to let your guests know where they are sitting – this is great for outdoor weddings where there may be a breeze.

Sara from Griffin-vites Stationery is here today to share a design perfect for your Nantucket wedding.

Not only is Nantucket a historically charming, romantic and unique place to get married, but it certainly brings forth a ‘style’ all its own. The look of the island is fresh, clean and coastal…. with a fair amount of ‘preppy-ness’ thrown in the mix. Visitors can’t help but notice the abundance of lush hydrangea bushes, as well as the multitude of locally made Nantucket baskets.

Our latest ‘Nantucket’ collection caters to that chic couple, looking to bring a bit of island flare to their wedding papers. From the dark navy and white striped border, the scattered blue hydrangea blossoms and eccentric whale basket topper…. we think we captured the feel of this gem in the sea!

This set is stunning Sara! Thanks for sharing with us. Check out more of Sara’s custom watercolor work at www.Griffin-vites.com

With only a few days left before the end of the holiday season we thought we would share these fab finds from guest Snippet & Ink Blogger Susan. She created three different gift giving themes for bridesmaids gifts and we just fell in love with her “Preppy” list. Visit their website to see all the details for the board below…. and happy shopping!

Island Buggies Auto Rental has one of the most stunning selection of perfectly detailed vintage autos on Nantucket. Their services are perfect for getting you to the church in style! Or have your wedding party cruise up in their 1931 New York taxi, how fun! Do not make the mistake of waiting till the last minute to reserve your wedding day transportation, they book up fast!

WOW! This color combo can be done oh so right! With the rich tones of our Nantucket’s native cranberry this board has some serious pop. Have you considered adding a splash of cranberry into your Nantucket wedding?

With winter just around the corner lets take another look at fall…

Yes, Dabney Lee has a home collection! And for our super preppy Nantucket brides you may have found your perfect event accessory. Looking for a flawlessly designed option for coasters? Or perhaps a coordinating ice bucket for your Jetties Beach lobster bake? Dabney has it all…. and then some! With dozens of pattern options, monograms styles and even the option of you creating a custom design, this collection has the perfect fit to your event style.

We had to highlight a few of our favorites but don’t forget to check out Dabney’s website to see ALL their amazing offerings.

Ice bucket and perfectly styled coasters! Spot on for your party or a wonderful gift for newlyweds.

Keep it all together with a stylish catch all. I see a fantastic bridesmaids gift here!

Nantucket weddings, in general, have their last dance shortly after 10pm. It’s the rules! So put some thought into not only your last dance but your get away. Many of your guests will be there till the end so work in a little something festive and fun for you and your guests to send you on your way. Sparklers are always popular and make for a wonderful photo-op.

How do you want to end the night with your guests?
